Dear Power-Filled Pastor,

I don't know about you, but I never liked hearing from people about any area of my life or ministry that needed improvement. I actually tried to shield myself from ever having to hear any potential negative information about me.

I began to realize that this was a dysfunctional attribute of my life and leadership. If I would have continued in this fear-based, insecure leadership style, then I would be very limited in my influence.

Here is a core value I share on in my book
"HELP! I'm a Pastor": I build a culture of feedback in my ministry that I lead by example – A) I set the tone for personal growth in the ministry by being passionate for personal improvement.B) I am open about areas I desire to grow more in.C) I create healthy systems where I receive feedback from those I lead about how I am leading.D) I create space for feedback in ministries and leadership relationships (I commonly use the phrase, “Please share with me two things you appreciate about how I led that meeting and one thing I can improve on”).

Supporting verses: Proverbs 15:22, Proverbs 19:20
